X-Acto Laser Trimmer

If you have trouble cutting straight lines, this is the paper trimmer for you. The X-Acto Laser 12" trimmer uses a laser-guided light to help you make a precise cut every time. Once the paper is in place, the X-Acto hardened steel blade cuts quickly and accurately and allows you to cut up to twelve 8½" × 11" sheets at once.

An ergonomic handle makes cutting easy. The plastic model has a self-healing mat surface with easy-to-read grid lines. The X-Acto laser trimmer also includes a perpetual edge self-sharpening system and a deluxe safety guard.

The unit is lightweight for portability, and the rubber feet help keep it in place while you work. A battery is included. Minor assembly is required.

I needed a smaller cutter to use in my studio so I didn't have to go out to the production department and use the massive overkill one there for small trimming and cutting, this paper cutter exceeded my expectation in both quality and value, the addition of the laser guide is a great one and makes this the best in it's price range by far.

I have the plastic X-acto laser trimmer and use it regularly for a variety of paper trimming tasks, and it provides clean, precise cuts every time. The laser guide is an awesome feature for me since I apparently have "issues" with cutting anything straight. :P The cutting arm locks into place for safety, and feels very solid and sturdy when using it. The cutting mat on the plastic model has a bit of grip that holds your paper in place very well, and it has a measured grid for precision.I'd wanted a guillotine-style trimmer for quite a while and did a lot of research before purchasing this model. I know that there are nicer paper trimmers available, but for this price you really can't go wrong, especially if you are going to be using this for crafting or smaller-scale projects. I wouldn't really recommend this in a school or office setting, though--I think a more "industrial" strength paper cutter might be a better choice in that case. The only con I can think of with this product is that I sometimes have difficulty aligning paper straight against the top edge of the cutter, but that may be due to my own incompetence. ;)

I use this trimmer for card making, stamping and scrapbooking, and it cuts clean, right angles every time. This trimmer has made my life easier with the accurate/ reliable alignment of the grids, the laser as a guide, the sharp clean cut, stability, self-sharpening blade, and it even looks good on my desk.Regrettably, I have previously purchased 3 supposedly reliable trimmers by reputable companies and have been disappointed with all of them.This is by far, the best investment I have made, you won't be disappointed.I can confidently recommend this product.
